The double-story wooden loft standing on the top of the mountain has an elegant name, but the holes in it everywhere make it look shaky just by looking at it, which makes people a little unflattering.
In such an attic, a young boy with half-long hair sat on the table, leisurely reading a book by the dim light of the candlestick, with two crotch legs exposed under a dark coat with gold patterns on a black background.
Her white calves swayed, seemingly not at all alarmed by the fact that she was imprisoned. Under her thick black eyebrows, a pair of eyes were distinctly black and white. This look alone gave people a sense of maturity that was inconsistent with their age.
Probably because of the obedience of the prince, or because of the cliffs on three sides of the Moon Watchtower, Ashina Genichiro, who tied him here, did not pay attention to him, except for the two guards at the door.
, there was no one within three feet of Guanyue Watchtower.
Seemingly reading with interest, 'Miko' Kuro stared at the book in front of him in a daze for a long time. When he felt something and turned around, a lean figure with white hair was already half-kneeling in front of a hole in the wooden wall of an attic, with a respectful expression on his face.
Waiting for him to finish reading these last few words.
Seeing the figure in front of him, Jiulang seemed to be happy. The corners of his lips raised a slight arc, and his pure smile shone brightly under the candlelight, but there was not much emotion in his tone.
"...You're here."
"Long time no see, wolf."
Han Baiyi lowered his head, imitating Uncle Lang's original posture, and looked at Yuzi, who looked more like a girl than a boy.
This person is the last person to control Long Yin.
Dragon Yin is an ability that makes people immortal. It comes from the traditional beliefs of this country. A god named "Sakura Ryū" is said to be a wild god who was expelled from a large country in the west of Japan.
It is also very magical in the game, which allows the protagonist "Wolf" to be reborn infinitely. This is how the players in the game can continue to be tortured and die, and finally survive to clear the level.
However, if the power of Dragon Yin is overused, that is, if you die too many times, it will cause a phenomenon called 'Dragon Cough', which is a disease similar to an infectious disease. The more times the protagonist is resurrected, the more likely he is to be resurrected.
The scope of dragon cough infection and the number of NPCs will be wider. The more people suffering from dragon cough, the higher the protagonist's death penalty will be. In the end, it will even greatly affect the outcome of the game.
Uncle Lang's power of Dragon Yin was obtained through a contract with the boy in front of him three years ago.
But now, it seems that he has lost this special 'resurrection' ability.
He still remembers that 5% of his game damage comes from 'Long Yin's Power Cutoff'. He doesn't know how this little master will react to him.
Han Baiyi's mind was flashing with the plot of the game. He lowered his head and answered in a hoarse voice like Uncle Lang:
"I have come to greet you, Master."
Speak fluent Hokkaido Japanese synchronized by the system.
Facing the white little hand stretched out by Yuzi, there was no reaction at all.
According to ninja rules, servants are not allowed to hold their master's hand.
'Miko' Kuro seemed to have thought of this as well. He calmly retracted his hand and said softly:
"Hmm..."
Turning around the club, Jiulang picked up a black sheath knife from the knife rest in the attic and said in a clear voice: "Raise your head."
"This is your knife, Cedimaru."
This was the sword originally used by the wolf. After he was defeated and imprisoned, it somehow fell back into Miko's hands.
The candlelight flickered slightly, and there was a sound of wind in the attic. Jiulang's voice was more solemn than ever.
"My ninja."
"Obide the covenant of master and servant."
"Be loyal to me at the risk of your life."
While listening to the characters in the game reciting plot lines, Han Baiyi lowered his head deeply and raised his hands:
"As commanded."
With a thought in his mind, the black knife-fighting information appeared in front of him, but Jiulang turned a blind eye, as if he hadn't seen anything.
It should really be invisible.
Han Baiyi was relieved and looked down at the information.
[Kakimaru: The sword given by its master Ryūin Goko Kurō was passed down from the Hirata family, a branch of Ashina's family. Although it was lost for a time, it returned to the hands of the wolf again. ]
[The name of the sword "Kakimaru" contains the meaning of prayer. Although a ninja cannot do anything about killing, at least he should not give up his sinful heart...]
[The blade may reflect the wish. 】
The process of the two re-entering the master-servant agreement, that is, the 'teaching sword', was extremely smooth. Even though the two had lost contact for a long time, the former wolf could not fully guarantee the safety of his 'former masters', the Hirata clan. Kuro's agreement between master and servant was extremely smooth.
There was no hesitation in the appointment process, and in the blink of an eye, it was as if she had entrusted her wealth and life in his hands with great rashness.
If in the game the two people were able to trust each other because of the 'Long Yin' contract, then why now?
Looking at Jiulang's slightly trembling left hand as he taught the sword, the corners of Han Baiyi's lowered face twitched.
With the end of the knife, one master, one servant, two words, and two sentences, mainly because Jiulang said, Han Baiyi, ah, ah, ah, the imitation of Uncle Wolf's silent personality answered, and when Han Baiyi expressed his own body, he had his body.
When he was injured and needed treatment, Kuro ended this slightly embarrassing topic.
However, this time, Jiulang did not take out the key item that can cure all diseases [the medicine gourd] like in the plot.
Han Baiyi was concerned and mentioned a few more words:
"Master, I'm injured."
"Oh, there are pills upstairs, go and heal your wounds..."
As Kuro spoke, he turned sideways. On the surface, it seemed to be clearing the way to the stairs, but in fact it was a small gourd covering his waist.
"Master, isn't that gourd on your waist the elixir left by the old master?"
"Ah? This, you made a mistake. This is the wine gourd. It was hung on my clothes when I was taken away from Hirata's house."
Kuro lied calmly, patted the dust on his hands, and pretended to continue reading, waiting for his treatment to be completed.
"Wine is good, it can relieve the pain."
Han Baiyi doesn't care about this. He is now a super villain who has killed two people. If he can't even steal a child's gourd doll, what kind of player is he?
Seeing that Jiulang really had no intention of giving him the gourd, Han Baiyi grabbed it with his hands, opened the bottle cap and poured it into his mouth.
Jiulang nodded and hummed, still sitting calmly on the table reading, without the slightest hint of embarrassment.
It was as if nothing just happened.
However, her little face turned red involuntarily.
He was probably angry at the disrespectful Han Baiyi.
Han Baiyi drank the elixir from the gourd. When he entered his mouth, he felt it was dry and astringent. After entering his throat, it seemed to turn into mist and floated in his chest. His chest, which was originally in severe pain, suddenly felt a cool feeling, and even vaguely could feel it.
I felt that the granulations between the wounds were slowly joining together. In just a moment, the pain in my chest and abdomen turned into numbness and itching, as if there were countless small insects crawling around.
He knew that this feeling was caused by the strange sensation coming from the nerves when they were connected, which only meant that his wound was healing quickly.
After drinking up the elixir, Han Baiyi endured the pain in his chest with twisted features, but in his heart he had to praise the gourd for the elixir.
Scanning the panel, Hulu's information appears in front of you.
[Injury Medicine Gourd: The elixir of heaven and earth. After resting, the elixir in the gourd will be filled again. 】
[Made by one of the disciples of the rare pharmacist Dogen, it has strange features such as the ability to automatically gush out potions. The tube has its own mystery. 】
This is why Han Baiyi shamelessly snatched it away. This is a sustainable renewable resource.
Life-saving things are rare everywhere. Compared with this function, what is face?
After waiting for a long time, Han Baiyi could no longer feel the itching, and when he opened his clothes and could only see layers of scar-like new skin, Jiulang got off the table again.
But at this time, the seemingly natural smile was gone from the boy's face.
Without mentioning the embarrassment just now, 'Miko' Kuro put on a serious face and asked in a calm tone:
"You, can your body support the next actions?"
Even if he didn't deliberately recall the previous plot lines, Han Baiyi knew that many of the greetings and care that should be expected in the game plot were omitted between the two. Han Baiyi naturally knelt down and asked a seemingly respectful question: "After? After
What does it mean?"
"First, escape from this Ashina country..."
"Under the bridge beside the city wall, there is a passage leading to the outside of the city. After you find it, use the flute of reed leaves..." Jiulang was talking about the plan he had thought up long ago, and glanced at
After Han Baiyi took a look, he suddenly changed his mind, "No, forget it, I'll go with you. They all know me and know that I am the person Sir Genichiro wants, so they will definitely not kill me."
"yes."
Han Baiyi lowered his head and agreed without any fluctuation in his tone.
It is self-evident that the efficiency of a ninja sneaking alone or sneaking with a person is higher or lower. Although Han Baiyi, an old otaku who has passed the level countless times, can figure out the passage with his eyes closed, Jiulang can't.
He knew that in his eyes, the two of them were still in the process of finding a passage, so the possibility of being exposed and engaging in battle naturally increased greatly.
Obviously, in his eyes, the 'wolf' who has lost the power of Long Yin and is not as respectful as before is no longer the best choice to protect himself.
Are you searching for a way out, or are you simply young and ignorant?
Han Baiyi didn't know.
The reason why we move forward in the original direction of the plot is probably because we have no choice.
But even so, the credibility of the wolf in his mind has been reduced a lot.
However, he is still a child after all.
Han Baiyi smiled silently in his heart, but his face remained cold. A strand of his long frost-white hair fell down, covering his twinkling eyes, and his tone was just as respectful as Jiulang remembered it in the past.
